Dear George

Read real letters posted in a blog at Dear George: Letters to the President. The ongoing entries are part of a larger project described in the Dear George website. Letters collected last summer were incorporated into theater performances delivered in October. The project producers say:

The overwhelming response to our request for letters has made it evident that the project demands a larger audience than our New York City production can accommodate. Because the piece has an immediate relevance, we are inviting theatre companies across the country to join our efforts and help us share this unique collection with a national audience.

Literate letter writing may not be a lost art after all, and it can spawn ancillary works of art meaningful to our lives. [Tectag: writing letters]
